how do i obtain a substring from a string thats been read in from a file?

   hello,

i was wondering if you could assist me.  I'm new to programming and i'm currently trying to get to grips with it.

Presently i'm trying to write a program that will take in a file and compare each line in the file to a pre-defined word, just to see how many there are.

From my work i've realised that the java method - equals isn't suitable as the method means it must be an exact match.  Now, i've heard that i should use a string tokenizer but i haven't yet been able to figure out how to use it or why i need to.  Can you help me?

Thanks,
ryu.
